The tests that give a strength measurement and rating as a percentage of material strength are done on machines that make a steady pull not a jerk.
Some of my test are done with a jerk some with a smooth pull. I see that in my last few tests I forgot to add that I did a jerk pull.
The Davy Knot - That is a knot that this Davy guy can not consistantly tie with good results even sitting in an easy chair. Some hold well but sometimes they let go way to easily both on the water and in the chair. I am glad that you are more adept at it than I.
My sample results are there for my own use more than anything. it is a place where I can store them and if someone finds them useful well that is good too.
I tried to make the information long so that people could take a snooze while reading it on the internet. I see that you had a mini vacation there. Well, that is good too.
